Baochai is a mermaid

Xue Bao'er didn't even know how she got out of the small study in the outer courtyard, but she only vaguely remembered that she returned all the belongings of the fifth and seventh brothers, and called them fifth and seventh brothers under the guidance of Wei Chi.

what is happening?

When Xue Baoer regained his composure, he followed Wei Chi into a unique courtyard with green bricks and gray tiles.

This place is very large, with pavilions, pavilions, winding corridors, rockery, gardens, and a water pavilion in the backyard, which draws running water in, and there are groups of koi in the water.

It's not so much a courtyard, it's more like a mansion in a mansion, bigger than an ordinary mansion.

The servants in the courtyard were orderly and each performed their own duties, but they were all young servants with clear faces, as the rumors said, there was not a single maid in Wei Chi's dormitory.

In the distance, a young servant looked towards them curiously. When they approached, he didn't dare to look.

Greeting all the way, Wei Chi took Xue Bao'er's hand to the upper room, and after sitting down, he ordered Chang Ming: "Go and get all my private rooms."

Clever as long as life is also startled, Shizi has never been short of money, and has never taken care of those private houses, he always follows behind to pay the bill wherever he goes, what's going on today?

If you want to show off your wealth, you have to look at people. There are mountains of gold and silver piled up in people's homes. How much money has never been seen, and what good things have never been used. Isn't this humiliating yourself?

When he first returned to Anguo Gong's mansion, Wei Chi didn't let Chang Ming follow him. Chang Ming didn't know what happened in the small study in the outer courtyard.

Since the tragic death of those two court ladies, the prince would rather live in a brothel, a gambling house, or an inn than come back to live.

Therefore, the eldest princess painstakingly renovated the entire courtyard inside and out, and the upper bedroom was even bulldozed and rebuilt, and even moved.The lotus pond with the corpse of the court lady was drained and left to dry for a whole year. After several expansions, it became the water pavilion that draws running water today.

Even so, the prince had never set foot here, and when he had to spend the night in the palace, he only slept in the study in the outer courtyard.

Counting it, Shizi has not been to this courtyard for six full years.

Not only did I come today, but I also took Mr. Chenghui to walk back and forth, telling her where this is and what it is for, and where it is and what it is for. It's like staying here forever.

Chang Ming was taken aback by the thought that suddenly popped into his head, could it be that the prince wanted to bring Mr. Chenghui into the mansion to be his side concubine?

Chang Ming stood in the small warehouse and shook his head violently, feeling that his idea was simply absurd.

No matter how noisy the prince is outside, the princess always turns a blind eye, but in the palace, she controls the prince very strictly.

Except for the two unlucky court ladies who were rewarded by the empress, all the servants in the Shizi's dormitory are servants.

In contrast, the rooms of the other masters are much more normal. I heard that the uncle and the second master even had bed-warming maidservants after their weak crowns.

Not to mention the beautiful maidservants of their family, they couldn't even find a single female mosquito around them.

It seems to be the year before last, the beautiful maidservant in the uncle's room was pregnant, the uncle went to ask the eldest princess to give the beautiful maidservant a title, but the person sent by the eldest princess poured down a bowl of soup, let alone a child , with the baby and his mother gone.

Not only that, the eldest princess also punished the uncle to kneel in the ancestral hall all night, and said that the men of the old Zhao family had no reason to take concubines before marrying their wives, and they could not tolerate giving birth to the eldest son, which made the house restless.

The eldest princess is like this to the uncle, let alone the eldest son?

In any case, it is impossible for the eldest princess to agree to the son to take a concubine before marrying a wife. If the son insists on doing so, it will be Chenghui Xiangjun who will be unlucky in the end.

Chang Ming silently lit a piece of wax for Mr. Cheng Huixiang in his heart, then took out a small box from the hidden compartment, thought for a while and stacked a smaller one on top of the small box.

This is all the son's belongings. If the son insists on showing off his wealth in front of Mr. Chenghui, then he can only rely on the small long face on the top. At least... he won't lose so ugly.

When Chang Ming walked into the Flower Hall of the Upper Court carrying two boxes, one large and one small, Wei Chi signaled him to open them and read the list to Xue Baoer.

A list is attached to each box, which is easy to find and count. Longevity should be, so I took out two lists and read them aloud.

Xue Bao'er's mind was in a mess at this time, and she didn't listen attentively at all. The list was not long, so she finished it soon.

Wei Chi was taken aback: "Is there only so many?"

Chang Ming: "..." Then what do you think?

The larger box is full of deeds of land, shops, farms, hills and yards. There are not many things, but the location is excellent.

The smaller box contained only a pile of checklists, all of which were rewards from the palace over the years. There were various categories, and each piece was a treasure.

"Where's the silver? Where did it all go?" Wei Chi has never cared about these things, but he has never been short of silver envoys.

He remembered that his monthly routine silver in the Duke's Mansion seemed to be 500 taels, which amounted to 6000 taels a year.

Coupled with the benefits of shops, farms, forests and rented houses, it will cost [-] to [-] a year.

After so many years, according to the meaning of longevity, his private treasury has less than 1 taels of silver left besides the real objects.

Where did the money go?

Changshou knew that Wei Chi would ask such a question, so he hurriedly took out an account book from his pocket and handed it over, but Wei Chi refused to answer it and motioned him to read it out.

Changshou glanced at Wei Chi, then bit the bullet and read: "In the winter of the ninth year of Qinghe, at the Zuihua Pavilion, I bought a dresser Xiaoyuexian combed, with 1 taels of silver. Trampled and wounded the common people, borrowed Qiye 1000 taels of silver. In the spring of the tenth year of Qinghe, Zuihua Pavilion redeemed the body of Xiaoyuexian, a Qing official, with 1 taels of silver tattooed. Celebrating the tenth year of spring..."

"Shut up!" Wei Chi only listened to the first few strokes and couldn't continue.

Chang Ming trembled in fright, quickly shut his mouth, and looked at his nose, nose, and heart.

Wei Chi looked at Xue Bao'er nervously, Xue Bao'er was still dazed, but it was somewhat embarrassing to be stared at by Wei Chi like this, so he had to say something.

So she obediently asked: "What does combing mean?"

"..."

This longevity knew that it was the first night of the girls in the brothel, but he didn't dare to say it.

Looking up, he saw the corners of Wei Chi's lips twitching, and then he heard his elder son coaxing the little girl: "It's just... a slightly more expensive comb made of tortoise shell, bought casually as a gift."

Changshou: "..." Can this work?

It's okay, it seems that the master of Chenghui Township believes everything he says.

This is too deceiving!

Chang Ming touched his aching conscience, and nodded heavily. His family's grandson likes to point a deer into a horse, confounding right and wrong, saying that it is what it is.

"The tortoise shell is very expensive, and it is often made into jewelry. It is not common to make it into a comb. You can also give me one someday, okay?" Only then did Xue Baoer remember where the Zuihua Pavilion was and who the Qing Dynasty man was, and her heart was sour. of.

Longevity: "..." Good guy, I'm waiting here!

Mr. Cheng Huixiang, is he asking the question knowingly, or asking the question knowingly, or asking the question knowingly?

Looking at the son of his family again, he is still calm, the wind is calm and the clouds are calm, Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his color, he said with a smile: "After we get married, mine will be yours, what can't you buy?"

Look, look, this is the style of the king... Crazy!

???

!!!

What do you mean after we get married?

Who will marry who... big time?

Changshou was completely shocked by this sentence, and he didn't even care about the latter sentence "what's mine is yours".

Shizi is playing for real?

He remembered that it was last year or the year before last, when the elder son went to live in Xianwu Mountain for half a year, the old bustard in Zuihua Pavilion thought that the elder son was tired of Xiaoyuexian, so he forced her to pick up guests.Xiaoyuexian refused and jumped off the building directly. It just so happened that Shizi passed by on horseback and rescued her.

At that time, Xiaoyuexian fell into his arms. That's right, Shi Ziye threw him off his horse to save people at the critical moment.Xiaoyuexian pushed him away, knelt in front of Shi Ziye's horse in the street, cried and said that she was Shi Ziye's man, and begged Shi Ziye to redeem her body.

The Shizi really asked him to redeem Xiaoyuexian with money.

1 taels, without blinking an eye.

Xiao Yuexian thought that after redeeming her body, she would be able to live and fly with the eldest son, even if she couldn't enter the Duke's mansion, at least she could be an outsider for life.

He and the people watching at the scene thought that Master Shizi would accept Xiaoyuexian, but who knew that Master Shizi ordered him to give Xiaoyuexian all the bank notes he was carrying, and only said one sentence to Xiaoyuexian from the beginning to the end: " Take it home."

One must know that Shizi used to live in Zuihua Pavilion for half a year, and spent almost every night in Xiaoyuexian's room listening to her playing the piano and singing, but in the end he didn't even have an outside room to reward her.

Even if Chenghui Xiangjun is a daughter of a good family, her family is rich, and now she has a title, she has spent only half a year with the eldest son, maybe not as long as Xiaoyuexian has been with the eldest son, how come she is talking about marriage? ?

marry!This is the rhythm of marrying the princess!

Do they all know the eldest princess, Duke An, the emperor, the empress, and the queen mother?

"The things in these two boxes are not easy to sell, and you only have less than 1 taels of silver on hand. I want to buy an identical tortoiseshell comb, but it's not enough?" The brothel woman with one leg was activated, and she spun quickly in an instant.

Being questioned, Wei Chi somehow wanted to laugh. .

His little girl was still ignorant just now, she paid back the money when asked to pay back the money, and returned the things when asked to return the money. The tens of thousands of taels of silver bills were like waste paper in her hand, but when she heard about Xiao Yuexian , immediately became shrewd, and began to haggle over every detail with him.

This little girl doesn't understand love between men and women, but she is good at being jealous.

When other women are jealous, such as the eldest princess, they know how to quarrel with An Guogong, and the quarrel makes everyone in the whole family feel insecure.

His little girl is jealous, so she just reasoned with you quietly, you spent 1 taels of silver on a comb for someone else, and when you buy it for me, the silver is not enough, what do you think?

How can it be so cute!
